We seek to hire, train, and engage people from diverse backgrounds, particularly those who experience systemic barriers. Employment decisions are based on the individual’s qualifications, merit, lived experience, and knowledge.

Equity means treating folks based on their needs. It differs from equality, where everyone is treated the same, regardless of need.
